I got in my 69’ dodge demon, and rode to the police department in Wilmington witch was 5 min. from the hotel. The department was a fun place to be, because the detective showed me how to test for fingerprints. The detective of Wilmington is Adele Meehan. The department was about the size of an average police department. When I left to a local kwik trip I got coffee, gas, and donuts that came to a total of 5$. I was now going to Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island. I rented a boat to take me to the Island of Pea Patch. When I was there I learned that Fort Delaware was a prison, and it was made the year of 1859. I went to dinner, before I went to George Read’s house.
